Printing with Parallel Connection
This section describes how to install the PCL printer drivers when using the parallel port.
To use a printer connected using a parallel interface, click [LPT1] when installing the printer driver.
Manage Printers permission is required to install the drivers. Log on as an Administrators group member.
You can install the printer driver from the CD-ROM provided with this machine or download it from the manufacturer's Web site.
Installing the PCL printer driver:
Quit all applications currently running.
Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
The installer starts.
Select an interface language, and then click [OK].
Click [PCL Printer Driver].
The software license agreement appears in the [License Agreement] dialog box.
After reading the agreement, click [I accept the agreement.], and then click [Next >].
Select the printer driver you want to use in the [Select Program] dialog box.
You can select several printer drivers.
The PCL 6 printer driver is installed in the language specified by your operating system.
Click [Next >].
Select the [Printer Name] check box to select the machine model you want to use.
The machine name can be changed in the [Change settings for 'Printer Name'] box.
Double-click the machine name to display the printer settings.
The details shown in [Comment], [Driver], and [Port] vary depending on the operating system, machine model, and port.
Check that [LPT1:] is shown in [Port].
Select the [Default Printer] check box to configure the printer as default.
Click [Continue].
The printer driver installation starts.
Click [Finish].
Select to restart the computer either now or later, and then click [Finish].
Restart the computer to complete installation.
A user code can be set after the printer driver installation. For information about user code, see the printer driver Help.
To stop installation of the selected software, click [Cancel] before installation is complete.
Auto Run may not work with certain operating system settings. In that case, launch "Setup.exe" on the CD-ROM root directory.
A message appears if there is a newer version of the printer driver already installed. If there is, you cannot install the printer driver using Auto Run. If you still want to install the printer driver, use [Add Printer]. See "Messages Displayed When Installing the Printer Driver", Troubleshooting.
